[@TheAlexProject13]

Lol

[@jagaloon14]

Some people are just able to say a lot due to not really being able to say a lot. It’s almost his lack of confidence in just speaking that compliments his utter ruthlessness and determination in the cage. Hoping he’s still got it against whoever the hell he decides to fight. So much love for nick

Nick is such a cool guy, he is just so misunderstood

[@SickProductionsDK]

yea well he does need a bit of deciphering but when u read between the lines he's got some good points of view on things

[@calibomber209]

He really is a chill dude. I've had shots w him and cool conversations about bjj at the Lodi ca bar areas. He's local as fuck. Even Nate cool and he gets his hair cut the same place my nephew goes. I think they were just upset at the UFC for being under paid. Diaz did great against silva. Hope nick keeps fighting !

[@MPerry-ox9qb]

Misunderstood my ass. What the fuck is wrong with this younger generation? Everyone else fulfills their fight contract obligations. Regardless, of their family issues and personal problems. Nick signed his name to the same contractual obligations. It's called being a man & keeping your word.

[@SickProductionsDK]

Matthew Perry What the fuck is wrong with YOU? Nick DOES seem like a cool guy, whom many people doesn't seem to understand.. "Nick is such a cool guy, he is just so misunderstood" wtf is wrong with him saying that?

[@MPerry-ox9qb]

Nick isn't misunderstood. That's a fucking cop out by the younger generation. He is a grown ass man and should meet his job requirements he signed up for. I'm sure Nick is a cool guy to hang around outside of his job, but that has nothing to do with his contractual obligations at his job, with the UFC. In life we all have something we don't like about work, but the world doesn't revolve around us. Be a man and do the job your hired to do, or find another line of work. It's a free country. Nobody is forcing Nick to work for the UFC. He signed the contract.

[@4g63mark]

I love to see the mutual respect between Karyn and top level fighters. These guys like her. They trust her. It's truly a 1 of a kind thing that is constant through her career as an analyst. Great video Karyn.

[@metusbatmanv3951]

4g63mark Fighters are alpha, journalists are beta. Beta males annoy alpha males. However alpha males are never annoyed by a pretty woman.

[@metusbatmanv3951]

Mark Salt Pretty much, but seeing as she is mixed and working in the media...she most likely pays a lot of attention to how she speaks, and how she is perceived by her peers.

[@edwardjones2202]

Was just thinking that. So many Arianna types crowding these guys. Then you get Bryant who knows her shit, asks incisive questions ABOUT FIGHTING and doesn't play on her looks. Hats off lady.

[@eon001]

Edward Jones What does that mean? Women that look like Arianna(y) Can't be good interviewers? Other than Megan Olivi, I've only ever seen one other lady do interviews and she's as professional as they come. I'm not trying to give you shit, I'm just racking my brain over UFC interviews held by pretty ladies that try and use there looks to score questions. It's never happened at the scrums.

[@edwardjones2202]

Hes been busted for weed before bcoz he was simply not giving a fuck. He smokes weed id assume bcoz of his anxiety disorder. Slight autism perhaps, he hates eye contact with anyone i feel sorry for him when hes surrounded by these vultures asking him shit he does not care about. He goes on tangents coz its defense mechanism thats how the brain reacts change the direction of the conversation if its threatening to you.

No way. I like Nick and all, but there is no way he would get through EITHER Welter or Middleweight's top contenders...

[@beardedcain6789]

@BlackPill Jesus even without wrestling he gets beat by a lot of top guys. Guys like Adesanya, Whittaker, Rockhold, Romero, Gastelum, Till, Thompson, even Woodley all beat Nick in striking. Also isn't he a BJJ Black belt? Since he has such a good guard you would think that he could submit high level wrestlers...

A lot of people bag the shit out of Nick, saying he is anti-social etc. The truth is, he just went toe to toe for 5 rounds at middleweight with the greatest to ever step into the Octagon, he arguably won against the best welterweight of all time and has already knocked out the current welterweight champion. He is truly one of the best and would love for him to hold up the belt before he retires. Stockton 209 WHAT?

[@jasonrobbins7143]

Also loved him talking about Chris Lytle... I dont think many people realize that he fought Lytle at what 18 yrs old as his 2nd pro mma fight!!!!! He won that fight too!!! Lytle was a beast back then too!!! Nick has fought the best of the best!!!! Still is!!!

to put it simply, the "media" pays the ufc for the right to interview the fighters. and no its not like their forcing the fighters to talk because the fighters are told when they sign their contract that they have obligations to speak to specific media.

Going 5 rounds with the best in the world. Win-win for both fighters really. Karyn as always does a wonderful interview, and doesn't ask repetitive questions, but ones a lot of fans are curious about. Anyway... very good interview.

[@chomama77]

Nick makes a good point in regards of the open workouts. In other pugilistic sports they never expect fighters to show up 2 days before a fight and play nice with the fans. If they wanna go on assigned days to the fighters gym I think fine and I would think a guy like Nick would think the same. For a guy who is getting into warrior mode these fan expos that the UFC is doing are kinda ridiculous. They should keep them but with guys who are not on the card or at least the main card.

diaz beats Anderson in 5 th round decisively diaz then beats lawler diaz then beats gsp on return fight diaz retires greatest of all time !!!!!!!

[@tonygareth221]

You must be high right NOW! No chance of any of that happening, even though I do give Nick some respect. Condit, Hendricks, Lawler could all beat him on any given night, and GSP beat him easily so he'll never hold the belt. He will likely lose badly against Silva tonight. I want to see MacDonald and Lawler do well

[@nikeettg5613]

Tony Gareth he already knocked out lawler and the only way Hendricks would win is by controlling him with wrestling which is also a risk bc of diaz jiu jitsu skills. everyone probably thinks Hendricks would knock him out on the feet but he would get countered and pressured with constant high volume punches. Hendricks is predictable on the feet and his best weapon is that heavy right hand but that wouldn't work against diaz he always pressures power punchers with his cardio and Hendricks fat overweight ass will tire out on the feet so the only way he could win is lay n pray like he tried on lawler in the 2nd fight but it didn't go his way. But I will say lawler is a better more and more experienced than he was when he got knocked out and hes a more diverse striker than Hendricks so he has a better chance of beating diaz. but johnny without his wrestling would get tagged no doubt.

With all due respect to Nick Diaz and he has had a good career, he's clearly in this only for the money and he knows he's only there to make Anderson Silva look good in his return. Silva wins this easy and in fabulous fashion. Diaz is only a quarter the fighter he used to be and who hasn't beaten diaz? I think everyone has at least once.
